The Emily McPherson College of Domestic Economy was an Australian domestic science college for women, in Melbourne, Victoria. It started in 1906 with a major donation in the 1920s.

The new building was officially opened on 27 April 1927 by The Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.) On 30 June 1979 it became part of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and is known as RMIT Building 13 (Emily McPherson College).
